Magnetic resonance imaging apparatus

Abstract

According to one embodiment, a magnetic resonance imaging apparatus includes a first transmit coil transmitting a first RF pulse corresponding to a resonance frequency of a first nuclide species in an object placed in an imaging space, a first receive coil receiving a first NMR signal of the first nuclide species, a cable connected to the first receive coil, a balun attached to the cable and/or the first receive coil, a substance attached to the balun and/or a vicinity of the balun, the substance including a second nuclide species having a resonance frequency different from the resonance frequency of the first nuclide species, a second transmit coil transmitting a second RF pulse corresponding to a resonance frequency of the second nuclide species, and a second receive coil receiving a second NMR signal of the second nuclide species in the substance.
